What You’ll Need
📌 For the banana pops:
- 2 large bananas (sliced into ½-inch pieces)
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup Nutella
📌 For the chocolate coating (optional, but amazing):
- 1 cup chocolate chips (dark or milk chocolate)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (for a smooth, glossy finish)

How to Make Nutella & Peanut Butter Banana Pops
Step 1: Prep the Bananas
- Slice bananas into ½-inch thick rounds.
- Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on half of the banana slices.
- Top with a dollop of Nutella, then sandwich another banana slice on top. You now have tiny, peanut butter-Nutella banana sandwiches. Congrats.
Step 2: Freeze ‘Em
- Place the banana sandwiches on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 30 minutes until firm.
Step 3: Melt the Chocolate (Optional But Highly Recommended)
- Microwave chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth.
Step 4: Dip & Decorate
- Use a fork or toothpick to dip each frozen banana sandwich into the melted chocolate.
- Sprinkle with chopped nuts, crushed Oreos, or sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
Step 5: Freeze & Devour
- Freeze for another 30 minutes until the chocolate sets.
- Eat immediately, or store them in a ziplock bag in the freezer for whenever you need a quick treat.
Ways to Customize These Banana Pops
🔥 Make them crunchy. Use crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth.
🔥 Swap Nutella for Biscoff. The caramelized cookie butter flavor is unreal.
🔥 Turn them into banana popsicles. Stick a toothpick or lollipop stick in each one before freezing for easier eating.
🔥 Want a protein boost? Add a scoop of protein powder to the peanut butter before spreading.
🔥 More chocolate? Drizzle melted white chocolate on top for extra flair.
